Designed as an alternative to real and synthetic leather, the new textile is both aesthetically pleasing and versatile — with a mission to inspire a sustainable, healthy, and balanced lifestyle through its quality and beauty. ‘I’m passionate about biomaterial research and sustainable development. my purpose [here] is to inspire and contribute to a better planet with new eco-friendly materials and sustainable strategies,’ shares Song.
